The ."Auto-Chronograph" is a
simple device that is claimed by M. Mau
rice Espagnent to solve the problem of
measuring the speed of automobiles with
great accuracy. It consists of a time
recorder with tape moved by clock-work,
a stylus that is made to mark on the tape
by one electromagnet and is pulled away
by the second, and two contact-bands in
an electric circuit with the magnets. In
use the contact-bands are placed across
the tract at a distance apart of a kilo
meter or a mile. When the vehicle
presses one band the first magnet forces
the stylus against the tape, causing a
contiuous line to be made on the moving
ribbon until the stylus is withdrawn as
the passage of the second band energizes
the second magnet. The length of the
line drawn shows the time to the fiftieth
of a second or less.
An estimate of the water-power used
for generating electricity has been made
by a German engineer. Germany and
Austria thus utilize 180,000 horse-power;
Switzerland, about 100,000; Sweden,
200,000 ; and the United States, 400,000.
The total available power in Sweden is
placed at 2,000,000 horse-power ; that of
France, at 10,000,000 ; that of Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and Italy together
at 10,000,000 ; while in the United States
Niagara alone could furnish 10,000,000.
Some of the giant Sequoias of South
ern California are estimated to be from
5,000 to 8,000 years old, having peiliaps
spanned the entire period of written his
tory. A section in the American Mu
seum of Natural History, cut from one
of these trees at a height of twenty feet,
is more than eighteen feet in diameter,
and its concentric rings show that it be
gan its growth in 550 A. D, This would
give the tree a diameter of thirteen feet
at the time of Columbus' landing.
In one hundred analyses of the air
on Mont Blanc's summit not a single
microbe was found, although they were
plentiful in the observatory. The num
ber showed a steady increase in descend
ing the mountain.
